Oahu News:

The Hawaii baseball team clinched their series with a thrilling walk-off win over Gonzaga, as Elijah Ickes scored on a wild pitch in the ninth inning at Les Murakami Stadium. Meanwhile, a Honolulu police officer shot a man in Hālawā during a domestic dispute after the man, armed with a knife, did not comply with police commands. Weather advisories remain in effect as strong tradewinds and high surf impact the Hawaiian islands, prompting Hawaiian Electric to monitor conditions closely. In education news, state lawmakers are advancing measures to address Hawaii’s ongoing teacher shortage, including a new permit for international educators. Cultural recognition continues with the Subaru Telescope’s advanced spectrograph on Maunakea officially named ‘ʻŌnohiʻula’ to honor Native Hawaiian tradition. Lastly, Lee Tonouchi was named Hawaii’s new poet laureate, aiming to uplift Pidgin as a valued language for creative and academic expression.
